115 mercury reed valves
The easiest way is to remove the breather and then with it idling, hold a
piece of cardboard a few inches in front of the intakes. If it gets wet with gas, they're bad. -- Bill Chesapeake, Va "kozmo6969" wrote in message om... any help on checking reed valves, is this an easy check. i have a 115 that i was told possable bad reed valves. i do not beleave that but would like to be sure before tearing down. i think fuel problem. good compression all close to 120lb. rebuilt carbs, new fuel pump diaphram, and water pump. motor hard starting, dies when in water after take off, problem restarting. any help here????? thanks koz |
